Pros: Card I received did not come with a full height backplane bracket as shown here at NewEgg. Tech Depot contacted and sent a new backplane bracket for the card and now it fits fine in my server. Great service and problem was taken care of promptly. Thanks.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Appreciate Tech Depot being quick and courteous in taking care of the backplane issue. Thanks,

Cons: It did not work very well. I was replacing an Intel PCI not PCIe network card in a small server I have thinking I would get more thruput with a PCIe card. Well this card sure did not do it. After installing the card and installing the provided driver, the max speed was 11,000kbytes per second. I put the old Intel brand PCI card back in and I get 51,000Kbytes per second. I don't know what the problem is but I am staying with the old PCI card.

Other Thoughts: There is some kind of a problem with this card. It is sold as a SYBA card but when it comes it is a card made in china with the model number SI-PEX24038 but nothing about SYBA. The brand name on the box is IOCREST.

I have multiple configurations based on Dell PowerEdge servers and Windows Server O/S. But the combination of a Dell T110 II plus this NIC when running under Windows Server 2012 R2 results in consistent BSOD (0xD1, execution) approximately every 8 minutes.

Other combinations work fine, including the same hardware running WIndows 2008 R2, or the same software and NIC on a newer Dell PowerEdge T20.

The problem is that Intel is no longer supporting this NIC and the drivers for WS 2012 R2 are supplied by Microsoft (in-box). So whatever is causing the problem is unlikely to ever be fixed.

Other Thoughts: It doesn't deserve a 1 egg rating, but no one will see the warning - which is a complete showstopper - if the review doesn't stand out. It really deserves 5 eggs, or 0 eggs, depending on configuration.

Cons: Worked for a day and now will drop the internet connection, reboot the machine and it will go maybe five minutes then quit. I plugged my trednet wireless adapter back up and off we go. Ordered it on the high recommendations. Cost more to send it back than it is worth.

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback on our USB31000SPTB. We apologize for the issue you experienced, and we would like help.

First, please ensure you have installed the latest drivers from our website. The driver, along with an informative FAQ section, can be found here: http://www.startech.com/Networking-IO/Adapter-Cards/USB-3-Gigabit-Ethernet-Adapter-with-USB-Port~USB31000SPTB#dnlds.

Secondly, we recommend making sure the adapter settings are set to "Auto-Negotiate". This ensures the adapter and your router/switch are operating at the same speed. You can achieve this via the following steps:

1. Open Device Manager a. Done by pressing "Windows Key + R", and typing in "devmgmt.msc" in the subsequent window. Click OK.2. Open the "Networking adapters" section.3. Right-click the network adapter that you want to change and select "Properties"4. Click the "Advanced" tab.5. Scroll down to the "Speed & Duplex" section. Make sure it is set to "Auto-Negotiate", or if you know the speed of your network, you can set it to the appropriate speed.6. Click "OK" and restart your computer.

If you are still having issues after these steps, you can feel free to contact us and kindly reference case number 303-196031. We would be happy to help you troubleshoot further.

Cons: Be warned. The picture shows a card with a full height backplane bracket on this card but that is not what I got. I ended up with a low profile bracket which did not fit in the server that I wanted to install it in. Looking at the Emulex product page it shows a full height bracket on the card and that it is FCC Part 15, Class A/B compliant. You pay $1100 for a card and they do not include both backplane brackets? Another interesting item was that a page was included in the box saying that the card did not meet FCC Part 15 Class A/B standards was for development purposes and should not be sold to a end-user? This is the 2nd card that Tech Experts has sent me via USPS. USPS "lost" the first card. Buyer beware.

Other Thoughts: Just wondering what is going on here. I did not get what I ordered and what I thought that I was buying. NewEgg has always been good to work with but I am really wondering about Tech Experts. Beware.

Other Thoughts: Had to replace a NIC in an ESXi 5.1 server we have in a lab. System was out of warranty, found this card as a "cheap" replacement. About 10 minutes of downtime to replace, OS automatically recognized the card and applied the existing network configuration to it. Card is solid and works great.

Something went right for once.
